528824 2007-02-28 19:38:00 Thanks everyone.
Budget was $400.
I bought this off TM:

Toshiba TE2100
CPU Speed: 1.7 GHz
Memory: 512 MB
Hard drive: 20 GB
CD / DVD: CD writer + DVD reader
Video Card: GeForce4 420 Go
Installed Video Memory: 16 MB
Screen: 14.1 in. TFT Active Matrix 24-bit
Display Max. Resolution: 1024 x 768

very good working conditions.no scratch.

toshiba pcs genuine microsoft windows pro xp sp2 with COA.
with WIFI

install gps navigation system.
Garmin nRouete with NZ AUS EUR USA CAN map all map routeable door to door voice.2.6Gb.

Couldn't care less about the GPS stuff.

Well lets hope I bought this off TM: Always a risk getting stuff like this mailed.

I suddenly found out I needed a laptop for these Satellite BB installs I'm going to be doing. The first Satellite stuff is arriving on Friday, hence the sudden urgent need for a laptop.
I hate laptops.........

528825 2007-02-28 20:39:00 Sounds like a good deal. But what type of cpu? Greg (193)
528826 2007-03-01 00:16:00 Sounds like a good deal. But what type of cpu?

Celeron.
But thats OK, it doesn't have to be brilliant. The LAN and wireless matter more.

528827 2007-03-01 00:19:00 Sound like a very good deal with the wireless but especially the GPS. The next laptop I buy will definitely have to have GPS capability. Good deal! Congrats beeswax34 (63)

I'd be interested in how they are running the GPS. I assume that there's a card in the PCMCIA slot and some software to boot.
